Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Last month in this space, I discussed the suite of programs that have come together to support entrepreneurs in our community. Thanks to the synergies between resources such as Hellgate Venture Networks, the Innovation Initiative and numerous programs on the University of Montana campus, people who want to start a business in Missoula now can get expert, individualized, prescriptive assistance to ensure the best chance of success.

But the fact remains that many businesses fail for basic reasons. Starting a business is never easy. Along the way, entrepreneurs can sometimes lose sight of the essential pillars upon which a business is built.
